Having and looking after a toddler has sharply influenced my views on politics, the state, philosophy, meaning of life, etc. What is supposed to be an "innocent" human being is showing the raw human emotions like the ones you mention, and it seems to me that only through cultivating and overcoming them, can we achieve a reasonably peaceful and stable society. No amount of technology and smart solutions can make us evolve, unless we also focus on our emotional and spiritual integrity.

Most powerful? Define powerful here. If we're talking about convenience, I guess, but even then, a standard webpage is fine. In terms of amount of things it can do, no way. Not having access to a file system or standard sockets immediately disqualifies it from being the second most powerful option in my mind.

Maybe the word "powerful" is being used differently here, but I don't know what definition they could be using.
Stop holding people accountable, start treating them as adults
Thanks for pointing this out.

I've made a respectable living off web technologies, and the products I've built create value for many people.

Maybe it's not the sharpest knife in the kitchen and I'm not Gordon Ramsay, but the final consumer product is still pretty close to being regarded as Michelin Star quality, not as a boast but just a point of fact.

Giving an flip "XYZ technology bad!" remark usually comes across as a meme or as uninformed and snobbish. The fact is these "bad" technologies do a whole lot of good.
Why is something broken in our culture? Humans are mean-spirited at their worst. The internet merely allows you to turn that element up to 10, where in real life you will be shunned going past a relative 2 or 3.
The right just tried to burn down the House in the US, murder the government, and install a dictator because it didn't accept that it lost a fair election.

Many on the right still can't, even now.

If you want your philosophy to remain legal, acting like this is a very bad thing and not something that can really be excused - for any reason - might be a good start.

Putting aside the specifics of this particular instance of culture war, global social media is a huge liability to be associated with your public persona and everyone should be aware of this, even the tech illiterate.

If you post something for the world to see, assume that the wrong person will see it at the worst possible time, even if it's years in the future. If you aren't comfortable with that, take your posts private or suspend your account, or delete your old posts, ASAP. At one point I literally walked through years of reddit history to delete any posts that might be embarrassing, even though I post pseudonymously
> it's understood to be the baseline, or taken for granted.

First off it's not in a very large part of the world (including the US). Read about the history of workers rights for example. These things didn't materialise out of thin air and are closely related to socialism ideals and social movements of the early 20th century

> Note that the term "sozial" in German does not mean "socialism", but rather "caring for others"

Which is exactly what I'm describing and includes "healthcare, paid vacations, &c."

I'm not a German history expert but in France most of the "social" (hint) progress came from the "socialist" parties with Leon Blum &co for example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Léon_Blum

> André Léon Blum was a French socialist politician and three-time Prime Minister.

> gave workers the right to strike

> initiated collective bargaining

> legislated the mandating of 12 days of paid annual leave

> legislated a 40-hour working week (outside of overtime)

> raised wages (15% for the lowest-paid workers, and 7% for the relatively well-paid)

> stipulated that employers would recognise shop stewards.

> ensured that there would be no retaliation against strikers.
Until now, none I think. The API only gave a partial view while scraping offered all tweets for a particular search term. The scraper had to be clever to juke the anti scraping systems but you would get a more complete data set than using the API.

And the streaming API was terrible. Even if there was no data on the stream you could consume tens of gigabytes of bandwidth a day. Dreadful.

> How can you say this with a "barely competent" level of expertise?

I get that, and that's why I declared it. I have two reasons why I think the opinion is still valid:

I'm not completely incompetent. I have produced useful web frontend work. After having spent more time on web technologies than a lot of others I still find it to be slower and harder. This point is about learning - I have done some learning in both and I can compare. It's a small sample size, but seems to agree with the experience of other people.

The other point is that most people talking about this are already experts in HTML/CSS. That learning is a sunk cost for them so they're not making fair comparisons. I also sometimes feel like there's a little 'Stockholm syndrome' - they've invested time and effort in learning the techniques and tools required to produce good quality web UI, and now that they can they overlook the effort required to get to that point and proclaim the wonderful nature of what they're using.

The sunk cost thing is the important aspect. I'm not even saying that it's wrong that it's become the standard UI description language - it as at least an open specified standard. I'm just saying that not enough attention is paid to the downsides.

I agree, saying Git was created in a weekend is like saying olympic gold medalist in 100m dash won competition in 10 seconds.

AMD recently announced that the situation with the Ryzen 5000 will continue at least through the end of this quarter. They might as well not exist. If Intel launches Rocket Lake-S in volume — and why wouldn't they, since that 14nm process must be pretty well dialed in by now — they might have the best product on the market again.
Unfortunately it was canceled.

One anecdote: I've been using AMD's CPU OpenCL SDK for a while now as the Intel equivalent was a pain to install. Intel have now made it a lot easier so moved to Intel and the performance increase has been ... very material.

And of course that would mean that I'm more likely to use Intel hardware in future as reasonably sure the Intel drivers don't work with AMD CPUs - so sadly no EPYC for me!

The Socialists and Leftists of the Nordics call it a Social Democracy. The Conservatives and Right Wing of these countries call it a Capitalist Welfare State. Most people over here agree that none of these countries are under Socialist Rule however. Instead they are democracies that are run mostly under capitalism, but with more state-run regulation and taxation than that of the USA. However, as the keen-eyed will see, what you guys pay extra in medical insurance, is kind of like a tax too, so when you add that in, Americans sometimes end up paying more in "tax" than many Europeans.

This isn't from GDPR. Those sites just get blocked. This is a definite paywall. If I open it in a private tab, I get no paywall - but yet, find a page seemingly compliant with GDPR, complete with options to opt out of some cookies.

Most major websites comply with GDPR, by the way - the more local they are, the more likely it is that I can't see them. So if my sister sends me an article from her local news site, I probably can't see it. Food Network is the biggest site that doesn't exactly work with GDPR: I can't see anything from the American site whatsoever, but can see the british one, who of course, doesn't show the recipe from the American site.
Thank you.

It's especially egregious in the Showa Kinen Park photos. Unless lenses can make people disappear, there are people along the right side of the path in the first of those photos and none on the right side in the second.

They really should have had a second photographer and then one takes a photo with the 28mm and one with the 300mm at the same time and in roughly the same place.
The people making currently making money off meme stocks doesn't equate to 20% of the country. And there's no direct evidence that those people are getting 'rich.' Outside of the few whales that are profiting off the (somehow?) legal pump and dump scheme that is WallStreetBets.

Rich is having a high networth. It's a lot more dependent on what social class in which you were raised (and therefore what networks you can access, and what role models you have) than your IQ.*

My IQ puts me easily in the 95th precentile of tested individuals, but I grew up poor to two alcoholic high-school dropouts.

On the other hand, I have a friend who grew up with CEO father who sits on boards of major public companies. This friend spent college (at a lower-to-mid tier school) as a D1 athlete pounding beers while dealing and using massive amounts of cocaine. This friend will tell you I'm the smartest person he's ever met. He's said it to multiple of his contacts while in my presence.

He pulls in hundreds of thousands of dollars a month due to his daddy's connections, while I scratched and clawed my way to rise above my station and get hired by a FAANG.

*This is completely ignoring that IQ is based off an extremely biased, standardized test and a horrible proxy for intelligence.

Loneliness damages peoples' mental health, too. Is there some chance that, for mental health, the ordering goes "in-person interaction > social media interaction > no interaction at all"?

Then of course if you compare social media interaction with in-person interaction you may conclude that social media = bad, but the causality may (in part) be the other way around, as the article says:

Isn't plywood actually stronger than real wood? It's even used for aircraft construction.
> Yes it's cheap. Yes it doesn't last a lifetime.

I've found if you buy something from IKEA when you're putting it together, using wood glue and better screws actually lengthens the life of their stuff considerably. I feel its not the wood that is the issue, just the crappy hardware they send with their stuff that is the issue.

But agreed on the rest of your points.
Oof, I won't go into details, but you got a couple of things wrong about Germany.

First, the crosses on gov't buildings are specific to Bavaria. As the USA, Germany has a strong federal constitution which allows the states some lee-way. Furthermore the German Constitutional Court has ruled crosses in schools must be removed if parents object, a ruling that was partially overruled by the ECHR.

Second, Merkel's remarks were rather specific to a form of living together without an overarching attempt at having and enforcing core values. She did not reject other cultures or beliefs. I doubt her position would be controversial in a country with the "e pluribus unum" as part of the brand identity, but I can't really say as I don't know the USA too well.

IDK about the assessment that liberals destroyed social conservatism in the USA as it is again not my country. But from over here, it really seems like the GOP went into a tail-spin over the last decade, maybe even since Reagan. In Germany, due to our voting system, the conservative party is as much a coalition as the Democrats in the USA while the left is more splintered.

I'd say if you wanted to have a less extremist conservative party, you'd need to get rid of the FPTP voting system: it would allow the GOP to jettison the right-wing extremists and seek a ruling coalition while fighting the Democrats for centrist voters/moderate conservatives.

But if the liberals really forced the GOP into becoming a assembly of lunatics, hats off, they did a great job. I somehow doubt it, though...
That depends on what they've learned from the experience.
In America at least, the only way to make a significantly better desk than an IKEA one at similar prices is to omit the costs of tools and labor.

Even after omitting the very significant cost of tooling (my corner clamp jigs for cabinetry cost half what a GALANT table does), getting good material you actually want will easily hit a hundred bucks for a fairly small, plywood-based desk. (Baltic birch isn't cheap! But it's cheaper than solid wood.)

I would rather own that desk, for sure, but it's not cheaper, and IKEA is pretty amazing at what kind of quality they offer at what prices--sure it's all fiberboard or cheap wood, but it's reasonably reliable and it's impressive that it's doable at that scale at all.
Yeah I dunno, react native is a neat idea, in practice it was all pain all the time. Updating, debugging, building, ensuring it worked on all devices, then add in something like Bluetooth LE and the pain grew even more.

Because of backwards compatibility, HTML+CSS makes it cumbersome to use the simplest ways to layout things. And it's also confusing because the oldest ways are still very much valid. You have to make divs (or semantic equivalents that I'm not sure are used anymore), and then mark them as different kinds of displays using CSS, with multiple sublanguages for multiple properties.

Compare that to QML Quick Layouts[1], GTK containers [2] or winui controls [3] where you just instantiate whatever kind of display with the container you want in a single model using qml/GTK Builder XML/XAML and be done with it.
